"Lack of broker coverage means no big funds buying into the company, like BHP or Telstra. Therefore the stock is not liquid means less volatility for the stocks (stock can go up or down faster as other shares) less capital gain. "

And that the activities of the various market participants have zero impact on the financial performance of good-quality companies.
